My Best Tips for Making Chocolate Pudding

If your pudding sets up a little too thick for your liking, simply whisk in a splash of milk until it reaches your perfect consistency.

Have leftovers? Use them as a rich filling for cakes, tarts, or layered dessert cups!

For the absolute best flavor, pick high-quality chocolate with a high cocoa percentage. The better the quality of the chocolate, the richer and more intense your pudding will taste.

Prevent pudding skin: To keep skin from forming on top, press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding (or sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over it) before letting it cool.

Can You Make This Ahead and Store It?

Yes, absolutely! You can totally make chocolate pudding ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it.

Just make sure the pudding cools down completely before popping it into the refrigerator.

For best results, store it in an airtight container—it’ll stay fresh and delicious for 2 to 3 days.

Give it a good, thorough stir right before serving to bring back that smooth, creamy texture!

How to Make Chocolate Pudding

Instructions:

Break the chocolate into pieces, add it to the mixing bowl, and chop 10 sec / speed 10.

Pro Tip: I used baker’s chocolate and chopped it roughly with a chef’s knife first. If you’re using a standard chocolate bar, just break it into chunks with your hands.

Now, insert the butterfly whisk!

Add the rest of the ingredients—sugar, egg, cornstarch, and milk—and cook 6.5 min / 100°C (212°F) / speed 4.

Pour the pudding into small dessert glasses or jars, let it cool down to room temperature, and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

Serving Suggestion: Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings!

Enjoy!
